Forum Discussion
Some of the new kits look interesting, but can we have some more transparency in threads about who is being gifted these kits by EA as part of their Creator Network or other programs when sharing screenshots or gameplay?
Heya HaneulFier
In the interest of full transparency, anyone you see posting in the Sims subforums that has a Hero or Hero+ role receives content for The Sims 4 for free as part of the Community Connections Program.
However, there are no affiliate links or Support a Creator codes being shared in these threads, and nobody is linking offsite to their personal sites or other social media.
These are just fun threads to show off builds, or what you're hyped about in the content we're releasing.
Thanks for clarifying!

This is what I was confused about. I don't think it's stated clearly anywhere that Hero/Hero+ receive kits or packs for free. Instead, they receive "Spontaneous Physical and Digital gifts" according to the link. I know that all the Hero members love the game and are just sharing their excitement, but for transparency's sake, I really appreciate that you clarified that they often receive more than just 2 EA titles for free.
Everyone isn't rushing to purchase the kits at release to share feedback here. Instead, several are just redeeming their gifts and posting unsponsored/free thoughts.

Interesting.
This explains a lot. I knew it.
Thank you! 🙂
Edit: They gotta promote the game.... Most of the Hero's on here are extremely helpful and some of them share amazing gameplay.

Yup! not really advertising here on hero side more so just sharing any thoughts that come as we explore the new content :)
also I imagine it helps the bug/tech helpers to have most packs available to them, even if I am more of a court jester myself and couldn't tell a bee from wasp 😂

Got it. I think it's good that Hero members receive packs and kits for free, but it's also helpful to know that that's what's going on.
I'll probably pick up Kitchen Clutter and Restoration Workshop, but I'm going to wait for mod updates and to see if there are any particularly problematic bugs being introduced by the newest patch.
